ABOUT

Committed Chicagoland guitarist/musician, living in the western burbs.

Lots of experience gigging, writing, improvising. Informed with gear, tone, tech and a solid teammate.

I'm looking to build something with others who are making the push toward heavy part-time to eventual full-time performing, recording, and a sustainable career as a musician.

I would love to find a band/collaborating partner that has the right mix of professionalism and structure to go along with style, improvisational spirit and the dedication to the profession and pursuit of finding ways to "make it" in this era.
